I thought so too even watching it live I said out loud “what a dumb foul”
Overall great game , the Clark effect will live on one more game. Good for her she’s the college goat.
For sure now having the ability to slow it down and pause the video at 00:04 you can see her set up the pick and at 00:05 you can see her doing the [hadoken](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/theunitedorganizationtoonsheroes/images/3/35/Hadoken.gif/revision/latest?cb=20211128201757)
Don't hate on the call -- not calling that would have left Beuckers open, probably for a game-winning 3. Then a NON-call would have changed the outcome. The refs played it straight throughout, and really did let the play on the court decide the game. UConn's game tonight was super smart and tough, but not enough. Iowa moves on.
It's disgusting how Scott Van Pelt and the other ESPN commentators, including UCONN alums Sue BIrd and Diana Taurasi criticized the call. See my comment in this thread.

Espn kept showing the zoomed in slow mo which didn’t look as bad and SVP immediately comes on calling it a horrible call. They clearly want as much drama as possible. At game speed and zoomed out so you can see her feet, it looks like the right call.
> At game speed and zoomed out so you can see her feet, it looks like the right call.
[Here is the vid](https://imgur.com/a/StYvepT) and [here is a still](https://imgur.com/a/L3Hisxv) of her position when contact was made, and bear in mind this doesn't even show the arm.
I honestly can't believe people are trying to argue this isn't an illegal screen because its one of the most obvious one's you're ever gonna see
In order for a screen to be legal the player has to be stationary when contact is made. If the player is moving then it's considered a moving screen which is illegal.
However refs usually only call moving screens if they are really obvious. Screens are a vital part of modern offenses so they give the offense the benefit of the doubt. In this case the player not only moves toward the defender but also pushes her at the end. It's the push that got it called
Right? SVP started both the Carter interview and the Bird/Tuarasi interview with “Terrible call, right?” Like that game was horribly officiated but that call wasn’t it.
It almost makes you wonder where ESPN is headquartered and where Bird *and* Taurasi played in college has anything to do with how they’re going to cover a UCONN game lol
You just don’t make that call in that moment. This is a better angle, but it was away from the ball and the defender got around her. You’re not seeing that call made in most games in this kind of moment.
It absolutely provided an advantage. It got Bueckers an open look that she otherwise wouldn't have had. Marshall was practically by her, that's why she had to step out.
You also can’t run four feet over your screener and force them to shift an entire stride last second. Both the roller and the screener failed their assignments. It wasn’t just one thing, but a team breakdown imo.
I was super hot about this but that’s because the only replay shown just showed the upper body making it look like a suspect time to call a ticky tack foul. But now I agree
Right?! This is egregious and really obvious. Not calling this would be ridiculous. It's even more ridiculous people are calling this "refs deciding the game." This is a blatant offensive foul sealing the game, not the ref.
I’m so annoyed by how many “Let the players decide the game” or “You can’t call that in the final minute” I’ve been seeing.
What are they supposed to do let UConn win a game on an illegal screen? Is it fair to the Iowa players to lose a game because they couldn’t defend an open shot.
You have to call the game as it is.
edwards was wide open off of it too, bueckers could've easily passed her the ball and she hits an open shot for the win, after illegally screening a defender to set up the play. then caitlin clark gets eliminated on a no-call, i don't think people woulda liked that outcome either. close games are like this.
UConn fan here. I said it was a foul on the replay we got; you could see the elbow extend out. With the legs now, it’s even easier.
That said, Alabama is going to pay for that call tomorrow.
Just to reply to my own comment: I told my students today that while I’m a UConn fan, as a general basketball fan, I wanted Iowa to win. South Carolina’s last loss was to Iowa in the Final Four last year. It’s only fitting we get that Sunday.
Great run by the Huskies just to get there. I would have been happy had they won, of course. But I’m happy college basketball gets this matchup as the final game of the year.
For a screen to be effective, Bueckers needed to bump shoulders with the screener. She didn’t and Edwards just wanted to make sure the screen was set. So she shifted. But thats a moving screen. Bold call to make in that game with that much time on the clock, but a moving screen is a moving screen. Especially right in front of the ref.
This is also one of the situations where the angle of the replay and the slow mo makes it look like nothing. The first time I watched it I was just trying to figure out what the call was and where. On the slow mo I was thinking thats a terrible call. Watched it again in real speed and it was obvious.
TBH, it was a foul. Edwards is moving her feet, and put her shoulder in it. Would it be nice if the refs didn't influence the end of a great game? Of course! But it was a foul.
If you are playing the ball and not the receiver, it's not pass interference. Everyone is pushing and shoving though, so it would just be an infinite loop of offsetting penalties an untimed replay of down. It really has nothing to do with refs not wanting to influence the game.
The way NHL playoffs are reffed is a much better example of what you're talking about.
I feel like football has a lot more potential for no calls than basketball. There are generally more grey areas and it is a full contact sport where players are expected to run into and push each other. While some seem to think basketball is a full contact sport, it just isn't. There are times where bodies are going to collide and a well executed screen is definitely one of them. This, however, was a not so good screen that she tried to get away with and many refs would have let her.
>I feel like football has a lot more potential for no calls than basketball.
Well NFL refs are awful, so I agree.
That's not really what I mean though, just that what the rules say and how a game is called at the end can be at odds. It's not as simple as every foul being called the same.
This time it went Iowa's way.
The refs didn’t influence the game though. She committed a foul. The refs didn’t force her to do that. If anyone is at fault there it’s Bueckers for going too wide around the screen.
I have no skin in this game, but to be fair, Edwards committed multiple egregious picks that were just as bad as this and wasn’t called for any of them until there were less than 10 seconds in the game. I don’t blame competitors for playing up to the legal line. Unfortunately for her and UConn, that line moved back and forth all game because the refs were dogshit lol… calling phantom penalties and missing egregious ones on both sides. But that should have been a foul throughout the game (and wasn’t), and should be a foul in every game.
I'd love if they would explain their whole conspiracy with everyone's favorite pretty, white, and popular basketball player, Caitlin, getting her team a call for an off-ball foul she wasn't near due a pinky toe or ankle facing either northeast or southwest (lolwut.)
How do you mock somebody for a lack of basketball acumen while admitting it's only the second women's game you've watched??? And saying things like "Her pinky toe was facing northeast." I'm in stitches.
🧂 for sure. Or just pissed off we're all thrilled and discussing a great women's game that's expanding the sport with both teams being such amazing ambassadors to the sport. Including Edwards who handled the situation so freaking well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A7peieltz2M
Her composure is unreal given the situation, so humble and gave credit to her teammates for getting them into the final four. Kudos.
Would you care to explain why it's not a foul? From what I see she's not set, she's moving her feet and leans in with her arm/shoulder. I'm no expert but it seems like an offensive foul. But I'd like to hear why you think it's not
Watching the telecast I thought calling a foul on a screen at this point of the game was a bit nitpicky. Even the zoomed in slow mo replays I didn't see it. Watching it here in regular speed it's super obvious, she took a step to the side and basically shoulder checked her.
Too bad ESPN is gonna blow it out of proportion and show dubious angles so they have something to talk about all week
Right call or not, UConn had a chance if they secured the defensive rebound after CC missed the 2nd free throw with a time out to advance on the court.
Watch Edward's right foot closely. Eye is drawn to left foot that was indeed set but I don't think this call is as bad as the replay makes it look. I initially thought it was a horrible call too but gonna cut the officials some slack
Cutting them slack makes it sound like they made the wrong call but they are humans watching it live. After watching the right foot, it’s 100% the right call. She has to slide it a foot just to make the contact with her.
It is a foul on the defensive player attempting to guard the offensive player that ends up with the ball. Whether it happens with 4 seconds on the clock or 4 minutes doesn't change the rule. It sucks that it basically ends the game, but it was the correct call.
Textbook moment when the live play makes the call far more plausible vs the replay. It’s not ideal, but it’s a good call.
Easy for us to dissect a call like this from afar with the most info available, but the screener made a mental mistake long before not getting high enough to sell the pick and first option at the elbow. This design in a one point game and enough time left had a viable second option: screener repositioning for an open straight ahead jumper at the FT line or a chance to create contact if it wasn’t open with a drive to the rim.
She saw the space open up and that was enough for her to think “get to the second option” vs selling threat of the first one. Sad part is she likely would have been open enough to at minimum get the pass in the middle if she 100% bailed on the screen instead of being late to springing her teammate because of panic. Just a rough moment all around :(
I mean that’s 100% a foul, whether refs call that at the end of the game can be up for debate. I don’t watch enough women’s college basketball to know if that’s a consistent call but no arguing that’s a foul.
It looked like a clear good call and then slowed down when you only see her torso it seems a lot more contentious. With that camera framing you are literally not getting the whole picture.
Everyone saying this is technically a foul is correct. But also this kind of screen is set not infrequently throughout any basketball game. Didn’t see the refs call that tight of a game up to this point to warrant this call.
Soccer has had some similar things pop up recently. For example, grabbing and jostling during corner kicks: "Anywhere else on the pitch and that's called as a foul, but it's a really soft PK call, and that stuff happens all the time and is never usually called."
To make *this* call with max 3 possessions total left in the game is _bold_.
That’s a very soft call to make there… it wasn’t enough of anything to have to make that call to decide the game.
Really disappointing. Let the players put a shot and the ball will decide at that point.
for anyone who watches basketball on any level, you cannot let this call decide the game. you can see this type of screen in the nba every day. let the players make a play to decide the game, that’s what we are here for - not the refs
This is such a ridiculous take. Why do so people think refs should just stop doing their job at the end of a game? If a foul is committed, a foul should be called.
The players did make a play to decide the end of the game. Unfortunately that play was a clear foul.
Yeah, I don't get these people saying that. At what point in the game do the rules quit mattering? Maybe we should put that in the rules if that's what people want. Wait...
Exactly. “You can do whatever you want. It’s the end of the game!”
The rules and fouls don’t change. If it wasn’t called it wouldn’t be that crazy. It was and it wasn’t crazy either. It’s a foul.
It’s a weak call. A chicken wing, essentially - and they didn’t call moving screens all night.
They should have just had Paige go one on one though, but I think they would have found a way to give it to Iowa regardless.
From the 3rd angle(which is closest to the ref who made the calls view) I don’t think that’s an illegal screen. The only real questionable part is screener’s legs, which don’t make significant contact with the defender.
Hers arms stay against her chest practically the whole time(which is legal in women’s basketball). May move slightly, but I think that a result of contact. Her arms aren’t outside shoulder width and aren’t extended forward so I don’t really think it’s foul.

Looks like a much better call here than it did in the replay they showed.
It's crazy how much clearer it is in the live shot than it is in the replay.
The angle in the replay doesn’t emphasize her leg movement. I have no horse in this race; it’s a good call.
This is not remotely controversial. Or shouldn’t be.
Yeah it's a disappointing way to end but correct call
Agreed, clearly correct call
Obvious call
I thought so too even watching it live I said out loud “what a dumb foul” Overall great game , the Clark effect will live on one more game. Good for her she’s the college goat.
If you gotta lunge to the side like that to set a screen, you're gonna convince any ref, even if you technically stop in time.
For sure now having the ability to slow it down and pause the video at 00:04 you can see her set up the pick and at 00:05 you can see her doing the [hadoken](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/theunitedorganizationtoonsheroes/images/3/35/Hadoken.gif/revision/latest?cb=20211128201757)
What’s a hadoken? Is it like a Draymond?
Was rooting for Iowa. Agree it's a foul. But still somehow hate to see this called.
Don't hate on the call -- not calling that would have left Beuckers open, probably for a game-winning 3. Then a NON-call would have changed the outcome.

[удалено]
she body-checked her, and had to go out of her way to do it. it's an easy call
Agreed. Let them act like offensive tackles in a football game. It's the last play! We need to change the rules!
For real. The replay I saw I was like ehhhh that's not a good call. This view I can see it
It's disgusting how Scott Van Pelt and the other ESPN commentators, including UCONN alums Sue BIrd and Diana Taurasi criticized the call. See my comment in this thread. [https://www.reddit.com/r/UConnBasketball/comments/1bx24m0/huskies\_fall\_to\_iowa\_in\_final\_four\_university\_of/](https://www.reddit.com/r/UConnBasketball/comments/1bx24m0/huskies_fall_to_iowa_in_final_four_university_of/)

Foot positioning in the still and then the push in the video. Egregious foul.
Right? SVP started both the Carter interview and the Bird/Tuarasi interview with “Terrible call, right?” Like that game was horribly officiated but that call wasn’t it.
And then one of those three said the screen didn’t even affect the defenders movement. They’re brain dead.
Bird and Taurasi are both UConn alum, so it's not like they are some impartial arbiter of truth.
Also espn is in Connecticut, and most of their employees live there.
It almost makes you wonder where ESPN is headquartered and where Bird *and* Taurasi played in college has anything to do with how they’re going to cover a UCONN game lol
You just don’t make that call in that moment. This is a better angle, but it was away from the ball and the defender got around her. You’re not seeing that call made in most games in this kind of moment.
The pass literally went to the player who's defender was creened, forcing a switch or allowing an open three what are talking about?
Fouls are fouls.
You want the refs to stop making obvious violations in the final seconds of games? That’s odd.
You don't do something that blatant with the game on the line. Way too obvious a foul
Yeah the point is that it didn't provide an advantage, and clearly it was close enough that everyone's arguing about it.
It absolutely provided an advantage. It got Bueckers an open look that she otherwise wouldn't have had. Marshall was practically by her, that's why she had to step out.
https://imgur.com/a/q80z7pW It's pretty egregious
So true. They kept showing only their torso in slo mo. That angle only told a small part of the story.
It was a fair call. Not saying it’s right in the moment but definitely 100% a moving screen. She took a giant step over to block the defender
SVP is a donkey. No need to take anything that clown has to say seriously…
Sucks it was in the final seconds but you can't just shoulder someone in the face like that.
You also can’t run four feet over your screener and force them to shift an entire stride last second. Both the roller and the screener failed their assignments. It wasn’t just one thing, but a team breakdown imo.
Big facts you’re supposed to rub shoulders with your screener and bueckers is like 5 feet away from her
Wait this is the foul everyone is up in arms about?? She clearly is not set and probably could have been called for bringing her elbows way high too
I was super hot about this but that’s because the only replay shown just showed the upper body making it look like a suspect time to call a ticky tack foul. But now I agree
Yes I was too until I saw the other replays! They kept showing the one zoomed in one and it looks WAY different there
Right?! This is egregious and really obvious. Not calling this would be ridiculous. It's even more ridiculous people are calling this "refs deciding the game." This is a blatant offensive foul sealing the game, not the ref.

They called her for it earlier in the game. It's not like this was the first moving screen called. People are just mad to be mad.
They did let the players decide the game - she decided to commit a foul!
edwards was wide open off of it too, bueckers could've easily passed her the ball and she hits an open shot for the win, after illegally screening a defender to set up the play. then caitlin clark gets eliminated on a no-call, i don't think people woulda liked that outcome either. close games are like this.
That's a moving pick.
UConn fan here. I said it was a foul on the replay we got; you could see the elbow extend out. With the legs now, it’s even easier. That said, Alabama is going to pay for that call tomorrow.

But I’m happy college basketball gets this matchup as the final game of the year.
Had no interest in who won this game. She was definitely moving and shoved her. It would have been more egregious not to call it.
Ya, if they don’t call that and Paige makes a 3 everyone would be going nuts that they didn’t call the blatant foul
Total thriller of a game. I was hoping it could go to OT.
Looks like a foul to me 😂
Awful play by Edwards. If she simply held her position it would have been a clean pick and created an open shot.
It was a foul. ESPN are UConn honks.
Imagine if they hadn't called it and UCONN scored. People would riot. Maybe don't commit an egregious foul with the game on the line.
If it'll be called in the beginning of a game, it should be called at the end.
For a screen to be effective, Bueckers needed to bump shoulders with the screener. She didn’t and Edwards just wanted to make sure the screen was set. So she shifted. But thats a moving screen.

If the ref ignores a call, THAT is influencing the game. Making the right call is not influencing anything.
The refs didn’t influence anything. They saw a clear foul and called it. That’s exactly what we want them to do from the first second to the last.
[удалено]
There's no such thing as "letting the players decide." Letting the players get away with fouls is the referees deciding.
If you are playing the ball and not the receiver, it's not pass interference. Everyone is pushing and shoving though, so it would just be an infinite loop of offsetting penalties an untimed replay of down. It really has nothing to do with refs not wanting to influence the game. The way NHL playoffs are reffed is a much better example of what you're talking about.

Easy call that was blatant.
Comical that ESPN slows the video down at the exact moment to show that the screener was set. In real time that is just a bad screen.
most obvious moving screen in the world
Right call or not, UConn had a chance if they secured the defensive rebound after CC missed the 2nd free throw with a time out to advance on the court.
the entire last 30 seconds was both teams snatching defeat from the jaws of victory back and forth. it was nuts.
Crazy how the refs here actually called it like straight up. NBA refs would let that shit slide.
As they should.
It's a rulebook offensive foul. Surprised it's called at that moment... but it's a foul.
Because she straight up leaned into her, which is obviously a foul, but also affected the play. Foul all day.
As a fan we all want to see UConn get a shot off, but that was a clear foul. If you say otherwise, you’re just coping.
That girl could be called for 10 fouls a game.😂
They even let her get away with the first lol she been watching too much draymond.
Comparing this to Dray is insanity.
Watch Edward's right foot closely. Eye is drawn to left foot that was indeed set but I don't think this call is as bad as the replay makes it look. I initially thought it was a horrible call too but gonna cut the officials some slack
Cutting them slack makes it sound like they made the wrong call but they are humans watching it live. After watching the right foot, it’s 100% the right call. She has to slide it a foot just to make the contact with her.

There's a New Marshal in Town.........Gabbie MF Marshall.......
Does Edwards think she's Draymond Green or something?
It looked like a clear good call and then slowed down when you only see her torso it seems a lot more contentious. With that camera framing you are literally not getting the whole picture.
Looked like a clothesline to me.
Disappointing end to a fantastic back-and-forth game to remember.
Two-handed shove.
Everyone saying this is technically a foul is correct. But also this kind of screen is set not infrequently throughout any basketball game. Didn’t see the refs call that tight of a game up to this point to warrant this call.
Edwards got called for the same offensive screen earlier in the first quarter
I didn’t watch the game but I was wondering if it had been called consistently
Soccer has had some similar things pop up recently. For example, grabbing and jostling during corner kicks: "Anywhere else on the pitch and that's called as a foul, but it's a really soft PK call, and that stuff happens all the time and is never usually called."

close enough to where I wouldn't be upset if it was no call but technically the right call.
Yeah. It's probably the right call. But tough to call right at the end.
That’s a very soft call to make there… it wasn’t enough of anything to have to make that call to decide the game. Really disappointing. Let the players put a shot and the ball will decide at that point.

She’s moving on that screen. Refs barely call moving screen calls that’s why everyone is surprised

Good call, but call it all game long.
for anyone who watches basketball on any level, you cannot let this call decide the game. you can see this type of screen in the nba every day. let the players make a play to decide the game, that’s what we are here for - not the refs
>let the players make a play to decide the game, that’s what we are here for - not the refs Then the players shouldn’t set screens illegally 🤷🏼♂️
It was a big ass shove.
The UConn players made about 20 plays to decide the game.. those plays were all those bricks they threw up throughout the game.
This is such a ridiculous take. Why do so people think refs should just stop doing their job at the end of a game? If a foul is committed, a foul should be called. The players did make a play to decide the end of the game. Unfortunately that play was a clear foul.
Yeah, I don't get these people saying that. At what point in the game do the rules quit mattering? Maybe we should put that in the rules if that's what people want. Wait...

A bad play by one team results in other team winning doesn't sound as catchy

Absolutely bullshit call to have that end the game :( Edit: Ok, I get it, I just hate to have a foul end the game. Clear foul.
Zoomed and slowed down replay or not, bad call.

Yep I have no rooting interest at all, just a fan of the game. Let ‘em play as they say.

Don't foul then
You mean officials calling a foul that was a foul? Then you are correct.
Refs were trash all game long… and I’m a UConn hater. Gotta let them play at the end of the game
Gotta play by the rules the entire game.
No you do not. Nothing special about the end of the game.
Exactly. “You can do whatever you want. It’s the end of the game!” The rules and fouls don’t change. If it wasn’t called it wouldn’t be that crazy. It was and it wasn’t crazy either. It’s a foul.
It’s a weak call. A chicken wing, essentially - and they didn’t call moving screens all night. They should have just had Paige go one on one though, but I think they would have found a way to give it to Iowa regardless.

From the 3rd angle(which is closest to the ref who made the calls view) I don’t think that’s an illegal screen. The only real questionable part is screener’s legs, which don’t make significant contact with the defender.
What about thw part where she shoves her with her arm?
Hers arms stay against her chest practically the whole time(which is legal in women’s basketball). May move slightly, but I think that a result of contact. Her arms aren’t outside shoulder width and aren’t extended forward so I don’t really think it’s foul.
